Had anyone had any experience with an Audi A 8 engine failure at such low mileage.
I was driving in left highway lane approximately 70-75 mph ,
when the car just shut down without any warning or lights whatsoever almost causing me and passengers unable to control power steering or brakes.
I had to have car flatbedded to Audi dealer only to find out that the engine had failed because of a faulty plug in the oil system that caused my oil pump to fail and not suppy needed oil to engine.
I did receive to yellow lights once car was already incapable of being driven.
Long story short I received notice from dealer that they would be performing a service for a recall item (seperate issue) that I never received recall being the second owner.
I had Checked with Audi USA to question them about the failure and appropriate steps s to take and asked if they would be providing any assistance with this situation. I understood I was out of warranty but was looking for advice. The cost of an engine from them is $28000.
The car is my 5th Audi over the past 15 years. The Audi dealership and the regional service rep said they would not be giving any goodwill and I was basically on my own.
Any advice would be great
thanks

I just had car moved from Audi dealership to reputable shop.
We are working together to determine which engine and distributor we decide to use. I personally would like to get engine with lower miles and do it right.
Audi short sold themselves with me as I had owned 6 prior to owning this car and had s meticulous documented maintenance records. It seems there was nothing I could have done and Audi said it was just a one off situation and they’ve decided to not offer any goodwill.
If they even offered money for my car towards s new vehicle would have shown some class on their behalf. So they have lost a long term customer.
What does blow my mind is I can get used engines with higher miles then I have now with longer warranty than if I bought new.
Anyway I have always loved the cars and the drive but without a 1st class company I will never buy another one.

while I sympathize with you - I can understand Audi’s stance here :

you have a pre owned, 9 year old car with unknown service history - the car could have been neglected resulting in the failure

if you had a consistent service record of all scheduled maintenance and repair with the dealer dating back a few years - you can expect more cooperation from the regional rep and the dealer would go to bat.

If you do - and they still refused - then it’s a different issue

I guess basing on your statement and lack of name that you could be an Audi rep.
Anyway , does it make a difference if I was second owner and bought the car with 30,000 miles in mint condition?
and followed Audi maintenance protocol for maintenance.
Btw do you really think someone who buys and $80,000 automobile is going to charge right in an abuse the car ? If car is under lease agreement most maintenance would need to be performed.
With a flagship car with low miles you would think they would offer something versus nothing. Not even look at trade value as an option etc.
at 67,000 miles to have a defective part cause a catastrophic engine failure there is no excuse. Btw I m not looking for people to be sympathetic ,I’m getting the word out to Those who might be a buyer of this model or any Audi for that matter to be aware that the company will not help you if you have an engine failure as a result of a faulty part.
I didn’t design the car and no zero about engines but from what I hear with timing chain failures etc some of these issues should fall under recall item from a safety standpoint.
Having car just shut down with zero warning in the middle of the highway sucks.
